RE: Can you scout too much?
if you've been scouting a certain area and your jumping those deer regularly and your seeing the same deer, pick your trophy, get you spoting scope or glasses and stay a few hundred yards away, and find patterns food plots, times, water, bedding areas, and his overall alertness and the alertness of the herd i cant say i believe you can over scout just keep your distance, if the animals are used to being around you and knowing you arn't a threat this can possably help. when you scout and they can see you dont move as a preditor, move casually NON-THREATINING!also make sure these are the same animals you have been following for instance find your trophy and name him.
